Merry Monday with Timeless Tidings, Product of the Week


Merry Christmas Card Tutorial
Product of the Week:  Using Timeless Tidings Stamp Set and Project Kit


Beautiful, rich colors and textures embody this easy-to-assemble card kit with coordinating stamp set.  But of course I wouldn't be in my true nature if I didn't play with it a bit!  I don't like following the directions- I have to make it my own or put my own twist on it per se.  So the tutorial for today is an example of what you can do beyond the given directions.  This project kit already comes with instructions and I'm sure a video which I'll share once available.  Until then, I'm anxiously awaiting the release of our products for the Holiday Catalog on September 5th.  On which day, you'll be able to order this lovely project kit and stamp set.  AND, you'll have plenty of extra projects from this week to look at and make aside from what the kit instructions give you to do!


The Timeless Tidings Project Kit comes with 5 each in 4 designs: 20 cards.  


Each design includes gold foil stickers and tags to make your holiday card making a snap.


And to help you line up those stickers, each card design includes a line or print area for you to get them perfectly straight.  But if you are a person who likes to follow a different path, below is an additional project you can make with a few extra supplies.
